FIFA 16 Counter Attack Custom Tactic Tutorial

This is a FIFA 16 Counter Attack Custom Tactic guide to show you exactly how to setup the appropriate formations and tactics to initiate deadly counter attacks. Watch the full HD video tutorial below that has all the tips needed for success.

The first thing we must discuss is the formations and this is quite simple! The 4-2-3-1 is the best to use but you can literally get away with using anyone of them that you’re comfortable with.

How this type of play works, is you’ll literally be parking the bus sitting really deep in your own half pretty much just in front of your own goalkeeper and soaking up pressure from your opponent. Then when you win back possession of the ball you will instantly launch a counter and push up the field not only in numbers, but at great pace with fast passing moves.

You can of course use the default tactic setup by EA Sports but it’s not as good as our one. for the details on all of the numbers see below.

Build-Up Play

Speed = 95

Passing = 70

Organised Defence

Chance Creation

Passing = 70

Crossing = 50

Shooting = 75

Free Roam set for midfielders and attackers

Defence

Pressure = 7

Aggression = 65

Team Width = 40

Defending Line = Cover

That’s it! You’re all set to go and try this one out and you won’t regret it because if you have these instructions active and you play to the style then you will be blowing teams away with your deadly counters. It’s fantastic for when the opposition has a corner kick or is on your attack with numbers forward and it also great against the high pressure opponents and it combat immensely against them.

I wasnt able to score goals using default 4231 formation of rm ,and i love playing speedy counter attacks using the full width of the pitch
So , i started using 433(4) one , against weak teams i totally destroy them( but without clean sheet) but struggle defensively against strong teams.
My starting lineup in 433(4) formation is as follows-
Rcb-raul albiol(86)
Lcb-sergio ramos (87)
Rb-carvajal(67)
Lb-coentrao(84)
Rcm- alonso(86)
Lcm-khedira(83)
Cam-modric(88)
St-banzema(87)
Rw-di maria(85)
Lw-cr7 (93)
I am deadly on counters , sometimes i make stupid mistakes and waste the counters , but otherwise i score many goals , but i cant defend properly
While defending i manually move my cm’s and cover the opposition teamates to cut passing lanes and then when the opponent is without support i take away the ball , but despite that i still concede goals although my defenders always cleanly take away the ball ,
So , what should i do ? Change formation, (but i like the kind of counterattacks this formation provides) or change squad , or adjust work rates or make some custom formation , i love the 433 system in football , how to produce counter attacks like carlo ancellotti did with flat 433 using rm ?? Pls help , i have to spend a lot of time trying to win against quality opposition teams ,
I play against ai
